This is a rather interesting site actually, still apparently MOD property however the only sign of recent use is the fact that the grass isn't very long. I first walked around to the front of the fort, but a car pulled up right beside me. Turns out it was the woman who owned the fields in-front of the fort and after speaking to her about the palmerston forts around plymouth, she let me walk around the fields and take some photos.













The first fort/battery i have been to that has the decking still around the walls :)

Nice pics, seems to be very well preserved. Any idea why it still seems to be MOD property?
 
Because of where it is and what it overlooks. The MoD still have control of a couple of the batteries and Forts around the area. Most for training and this one due to its proximity to a highly restricted area.
There is also a high probabilty that that fort is linked by a tunnel to the very nearby restricted area.
 
hate seeing the state all the other forts are in.
this one being MOD property is probably in better condition.

cool pics
 
Great pics!
Was here recently myself delivering to the land owners, didnt have time to have a proper look around, wish i did now after seeing these pics!
